Array ( [sid] => 84801 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => i Would Rather.... [time] => 2005-02-17 21:16:30 [hometext] => wishes i guess.... [bodytext] =>
I would rather
fall by myself than be broken by you
I would rather
be hurt by the truth than hear your words untrue
For there’s nothing worse than being hurt
Than being broken into two

I would rather
be alone than be heartbroken again by a boy
I would rather
be rejected than again long for temporary joy
For sometimes joy withers and fades
And leaves you in despair

I would rather
find peace than be lost in this big world
I would rather
embrace the light than into the darkness be hurled
For light gives you vision and hope
It overshadows the black night

I would rather
stay true to myself than live in dishonesty
I would rather
be unique than succumb to conformity
For many are living like clones
Without a mind of their own


I would rather be
an angel than a fragile soul on earth
I would rather
fly in mid heaven than be bound to this land of mirth
For flying sets you up on high
And spares you from the pain

I would rather
sit with God than with wicked mankind
I would rather
be at rest than having nothing to find
For resting means no suffering or strife
Like sleeping, an endless dream


Oh more than anything else I would rather be with God

wow. i've been here before. this was so nostalgic for me simply because i've sat down and just made a list of things i would prefer, things i would change about the world around me, and the world that i choose to see. i came to different conclusions at different times, but this one was more than common. I love the way u expressed yourself here, as if you've held nothing back. this was such a deep poem that I loved reading. touching write
